Adolescent Treatment
Adolescent Treatment
Adolescent treatment is by far the most common age for treatment and in many situations the most ideal time for treatment.
Usually, 10-13 years old is the typical age that the last baby teeth are lost, allowing the alignment of the permanent teeth. Because this coincides with the pubertal growth spurt, we have a large amount of growth that can be harnessed and redirected. Using the child’s rapid jaw growth limits the need for extractions of permanent teeth.
